Crude futures fall as much as 1% ahead of supply data

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- April crude fell 81 cents to $60.65 a barrel Wednesday morning. A report from the Energy Department due shortly is expected to show a second-weekly rise in U.S. crude inventories, a fifth week of falling distillate supplies and a third week of declining gasoline supplies. April naturla gas was down 18.3 cents at $7.35 per million British thermal units, ahead of the Energy Department's supply update due out Thursday.
